This motoring Romeo picked Fourth South street near State to do his petting and ipeeding simultaneously. For his May madness he was fined the staggering sum of $15. Of course, he put many other drivers at the mercy of his reckless reck-less folly, but $13 was the total penalty for bis "one-arm" speeding. A prominent Salt Lake attorney happens to know all too sadly how dangerous these petting motorists are. He was driving along a highway, homeward bound, when a truck directly in front of him careened but Into the middle of the road, forcing the attorney's car off the road and overturning it into the ditch. It developed that the truck driver had taken his hands entirely off the wheel long enough to hug and kiss the girl at his side. Thereby he endangered several lives and more or less wrecked the Salt Laker's auto.
